The canine star of The Artist is to leave his mark in Hollywood with a pawprint ceremony at the historic Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Jack Russell terrier Uggie became a sensation last year after sharing the screen with French actor Jean Dujardin in the Oscar-winning silent movie, but he retired from Hollywood earlier this year after a decade in the spotlight.

In February, Uggie was named Best Dog in a Theatrical Film at the first Golden Collar Awards, awarded by Dog News Daily.

However, Uggie's legacy will live on - he's been invited to plant his paws in wet cement outside Grauman's, alongside handprints and autographs left by icons including Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra.
